Hi All,

I can't hardly wait to ever find and then hold a meteorite that size in my
hands!

Well, maybe I can not really say that, because I do believe I have a very
nice size meteorite that I found by myself, well its ONLY about 183 grams!
THAT was not planted by SOMEONE, but the asteroid belt or the planets = nor
is it a NWA!

Peter, this is a BEAUTY!!!
Its really a very nice piece!

Ach, haette ich es nur gefunden!! ;-)

Sternengruss, Moni
